United states tax collector

Gavin was silent, but it had to be said that Owen's words pierced his heart.

If you confess to the higher-ups, your future will definitely be lost.

If he doesn't confess, although he will be controlled by David in the future, at least his current position and future will still be there.

As long as you are not a saint, you will almost always choose the latter.

Of course, Gavin is not a saint. He is leaning towards the latter from the bottom of his heart. Now he is talking to Owen and asking him to give his opinion. He is just trying to find some psychological comfort.

After a while, Gavin said: "Then do what you want. First, gather all the agents in our office and 'explain' it to them."

Ou En was a little speechless, thinking, isn't this exactly what you think deep down in your heart, and you still do what I want?

I can carry this pot.

He thought about it, but he didn't dare to refute anything, and immediately turned around to summon the detectives.

Ninglin Branch.

Because Egport was discussing the reasons for the matter with Jon, it was not until Jon left that he walked into Egport's office and said: "Director Egport, there is something I want to tell you. You discuss it."

"What's going on?"

"Tomorrow, a large amount of tax may be recorded. This should not be a small amount. I hope that this tax will be divided 46 by everyone, just like the cases we cooperated with!"

During this assessment period, he had already wasted too much time because of what Stevenson had done.

And now on the tax performance list, the tax performance of people like Brown Soros and Bellamy Hardy has far exceeded him.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for David to continue to give away tax results to these bureaus for free, and he must account for some of them.

Otherwise, if this time continues to be wasted, the gap between him and those on the tax performance list will only become wider and wider.

"46 points account..."

Eggport was a little quiet, but when he thought about the fact that they had obtained a lot of tax results from those five FBI agents, it was reasonable for people to ask for this now, and it was not too much.

Then he nodded and replied: "Of course it is possible, but Chief Tax Officer David, what is the origin of your so-called large-scale tax receipts?"

As soon as David arrived here, he launched an investigation into the FBI and didn't check anything else, so this made Eggport a little confused as to where the tax money came from.

"FBI."

"FBI?"

Eggpot was startled and asked quickly: "Are you referring to the five agents we invited back, or...?"

"Of course not. What I mean is that a large number of agents will come to their FBI office tomorrow, including Gavin, who will also bring back the taxes to pay."

"What did you say!?"

Egpot's eyes were as big as bells, and his face was full of disbelief.

Aren't it just the five agents who were invited back by them now and have sufficient evidence of tax evasion?

How come other agents from the FBI office come to pay their taxes?

And forget it, Gavin, the head of the FBI in Nevada, will also come to pay their taxes?

How can this be!

If these words hadn't come out of David's mouth, Egbert would have stood up immediately and yelled that this was nonsense!

"I said that tomorrow Gavin and his men will come over with his men to pay taxes. By then, we will split the tax 46 times!"

After receiving confirmation again, Eggport couldn't hold himself any longer. He asked again: "Taxmaster David, Gavin will pay our taxes? Are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious."

"This...how did you do it?"

"Well...it's a long story. Anyway, just collect taxes."

Hearing that David seemed unwilling to explain the process, Eggport, no matter how curious he was, couldn't continue to ask, so he could only agree: "Okay, if they really come, after receiving the tax money, I will I will give it to you according to the proportion."

"That's good, I'll go deal with other things first."

Nissen had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw David coming out, he immediately greeted him and said, "I found it. Lawson Rubins is attending an academic lecture at Newman University. It is expected to end at 6 o'clock. Then return to your residence.”

David raised his watch and looked at it. It was now 5:30, which meant there was still half an hour. He immediately said, "Let's go to Newman University right now."

Newman University is a dynamic and innovative private institution of higher education located in the heart of Carson City.

The university's architectural style is unique, blending historical and modern elements, showing an elegant and modern beauty.

The historical buildings on campus retain their original simplicity, and traditional architectural details such as red brick walls, spires, and arched windows highlight their rich historical heritage.

When David and his party arrived here, it happened to be 6 o'clock.

As the academic lectures on campus had just ended, some students and invited people from all walks of life were seen walking out of the gate.

After about 10 minutes, a man in a suit, about 40 years old, walked out surrounded by several security personnel.

When David saw him, his eyes suddenly lit up.

[Name: Lawson Rubins. 】

[Occupation: Politician. 】

[Income: Legal income is 21,200 US dollars, illegal income is 73,100 US dollars. 】

[Income details: On January 11, $20,000 was misappropriated from campaign funds and used for hotel consumer services; on January 19, $10,000 was misappropriated from campaign funds for special services...]

【More details:……】

[Tax payable: US$18,275. 】

After reviewing the information of the senatorial candidate, David raised the corner of his mouth, then took out a pen and paper from his pocket and started writing.

A few minutes later, he tore out two pages, handed them to Simmons, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and said, "Go check it out and get these things sorted out."

…

This night was another uneasy night for all parties.

On the Carson City Hall side, they were not relieved because David didn't mess with them directly. Instead, their heartstrings were tightened.

Because they had already heard rumors about the FBI. Although they didn’t know why David wanted to engage the FBI, but David dared to engage the FBI, so why would he care about them?

Maybe after the FBI is taken care of, it will be their turn!

While the officials at City Hall were in confusion, at the Governor's Mansion, Stevenson and Eugene were also thinking about the FBI.

"Aside from taking away the FBI agents, there hasn't been much movement on the IRS side, and the FBI side is also dead silent. What are they doing?"

Stevenson felt something was wrong.

Logically speaking, people from the IRS swaggered to the FBI office and took away the five agents inside. The FBI would definitely not let it go.

But now there is no movement from the FBI, as if this incident never happened, and the IRS has also fallen silent after taking the person back. What are these two parties doing?

"Governor, I think there is only one possibility. They may have reached a reconciliation privately, or reached some agreement, so that both parties will calm down."

Eugene's words made Stevenson look a little unhappy.

Because if the FBI and the IRS really reach an agreement, it will not be a good thing for him.

After thinking for a while, he asked: "Where's Gavin? Didn't he reveal anything?"

"I called him personally to ask him, but he seemed to be avoiding the question, so I'm not sure whether a settlement or agreement has been reached."

Stevenson thought for a while, and finally couldn't figure out the reason. He could only say: "Forget it, continue to pay attention to the incident."

One night passed quietly.

At nine o'clock the next morning, not long after Stevenson arrived at his office, Eugene rushed in and said: "Governor, I just got the news that David is rushing to Newman University!"

"To Newman University? Is Lawson Rubins still there today?"

"Yes, he will continue to attend academic lectures there today!"

After receiving the confirmation, Stevenson's expression changed, and then he asked: "Since he found Lawson Rubins, could it be that... he went to get him as per our request?"

"This is not clear, but it is possible. After all, we have the handle on him now, and it is at the time of the God-creation plan. If he does not comply with our requirements, we will publish the investigation report of his subordinates. If he gets out, he'll be in big trouble."

"Haha, I hope he knows better!"

Stevenson became happy because he also thought there was some truth to what Eugene said.

It seems that the reason why David engaged the FBI was just to vent his anger.

Now that they were all done with their anger, and they had Bobby's investigation report in hand, and it was now the time of the god-making plan, it was reasonable for David not to dare to make matters worse and to do as he asked.

On the road to Newman University.

"I understand. As for taxes, you should take your people to Ninglin Branch to pay as soon as possible."

David put down the phone.

He was on the phone with Gavin just now.

And he was going to Newman University to find Lawson Rubins, and he deliberately passed the news to Stevenson through the FBI.

The purpose was to confuse Stevenson and make him think that he was following his instructions to deal with Lawson Rubins.

While I was thinking, the vehicle had already arrived at the gate of Newman University.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he first put on a mask and a hat, then got out of the car and walked into the school.

At 9.30 today, Lawson Rubins will continue to attend academic lectures here, located in a venue in the west end of the campus.

David and a few others came here. After checking the tickets to the staff, they walked in, found a seat and waited.

Seven or eight minutes later, a host came up on the stage.

He first made an opening statement to welcome everyone present, then entered into the content of today's discussion, and finally said: "Come, let me welcome the invited guests of this hospital with a round of applause."

Under the thunder of applause, the three of them walked out from the side passage, including Lawson Rubins.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lawson Rubins..."

"Hi everybody, I'm……"

"..."

After the three introduced their identities to each other, they entered today's discussion session.

The content discussed involves the latest academic research trends, including new theories, new discoveries, new technological advances and other issues.

It wasn't until 12 o'clock that the host said: "Okay, that's it for the morning's exchange. We will continue at 2 p.m.!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the venue dispersed.

David realized that it was time, stood up quickly, and chased in the direction of Lawson Rubins.

"Sorry sir, this is the passage for invited guests. You can't go this way. Please go to the passage over there."

Seeing the arrival of David and others, the staff stationed at the passage quickly stretched out their hands to stop them.

Nissen on the side didn't waste any time and directly took out his tax badge: "From the IRS, we are on a mission, please get out of the way!"

When he heard that it was from the Internal Revenue Service, the staff member did not dare to stop him and quickly moved aside.

David and others walked up immediately without any ink, and soon came to a rest area.

Because he lost his target, Nissen could only grab a staff member and ask: "Excuse me, where is Mr. Lawson Rubins's lounge?"

"It's right there, turn left and take the second room."

David and the others immediately walked over according to the instructions, and sure enough they found the door of a lounge, with two bodyguards standing there waiting.

"What do you do?"

Seeing the arrival of David and others, the bodyguard at the door immediately became vigilant.

Nissen also raised his tax badge and said: "From the Internal Revenue Service, our tax chief wants to meet your Mr. Lawson Rubins."

Hearing that it was from the IRS, the bodyguard paused, but he still opened the door and walked in, saying, "Mr. Lawson Rubins, someone from the IRS is at the door and wants to see you."

At this time, Lawson Rubins had already loosened his tie and was enjoying a piece of steak. He was stunned when he heard this.

Finally, he had to rearrange his collar and said, "Then invite them in!"

"Yes sir."

The bodyguard turned and walked out of the door, and the next second David walked in, applauding and said: "Mr. Lawson Rubins, your speech just now was great. When the voting for the Senate election officially begins, I will definitely vote." You have one vote!”

Lawson was very happy at first when he heard this. After all, he came here to attend academic lectures mainly to gain popularity and votes.

He was about to say a word of thanks, but when he looked at David's half of his face, he suddenly froze.

David took off his hat and mask and said with a smile: "Mr. Lawson, it seems you know me."

"David...the tax collector!"

Just now, Lawson felt that David looked like the same person. Now after taking off the mask and hat, he was completely confirmed.

The person in front of him was none other than the ‘iron-fisted tax chief’ who was in the limelight recently in the IRS system!

"it's me."

David was not polite, he directly pulled up a chair and sat down in a majestic manner.

Lawson frowned slightly. It was usually not a good thing to be approached by IRS personnel, let alone the one who approached him now was such a ruthless tax chief.

After thinking about it for a while, he tentatively asked: "Chief Tax Officer David, my taxes are handled by a dedicated person. I think there are no problems, so what is the purpose of you coming to me?"

"Don't be so nervous, Mr. Lawson. I came to see you today just to have a chat."

"Okay, so what do you want to talk about?"

"As far as I know, you don't have a good relationship with Governor Stevenson?"

"It's just that we have slightly different political opinions. This is something that everyone knows. Personally, there is no big grudge."

David smiled and said, "Really? Then Governor Stevenson, why would you let me punish you?"

"What did you say!?"

Lawson was stunned for a moment, then looked at David with questioning eyes.

"Literally, you said you have no personal grudge against Governor Stevenson, but he wants to kill you. So what do you think now?"

"Did Stevenson ask you to punish me?"

David nodded and said no more.

And Lawson also fell silent, his expression changed and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, David said: "Mr. Lawson, since Governor Stevenson wants to punish you, and I have long been tired of him, how about... how about we join forces to fight against him?"

Lawson raised his head and looked at David for about 5 seconds, and finally laughed suddenly, and then said: "Director David, what you said is right. Your Internal Revenue Service is responsible for taxation, and I am just a candidate now, so what?" What are you qualified to fight back?"

Lawson is not a fool. On the contrary, he dares to run for the Senate and is very smart.

Stevenson and David obviously have a grudge, so why would he drive David to mess with him?

Obviously, he has the handle on David.

And David's character is right there. He cannot be a master who can be manipulated by others. There will definitely be a fight between the two.

Wouldn't it be nice for him to stand aside and watch the two of them fight?

Why bother getting involved?

Now is the critical period of the campaign. If he gets involved, Stevenson will definitely hinder him even more.

And if he stayed out of the matter and let David control Stevenson, not only would his resistance be much smaller, but he would also be able to focus more on the campaign.

"Mr. Lawson, I came to you with full sincerity, and I told you so openly. Don't ruin my good impression of you, right?"

David heard the cunningness in the other party's words, and his tone became serious.

Lawson spread his hands: "Chief David, you can come to me and tell me this matter in person. I am very grateful to you, but again, I am just a candidate now, with no power or position. , I can’t help with this matter!”

Seeing that the other party was so ignorant, David stopped talking nonsense and stretched out his hand directly to Nissen behind him.

Nissen also immediately handed a portfolio into his hands.

This is the document that David obtained through the Ninglin Branch's operation all night after using his golden finger to examine Lawson yesterday.

After David took it, he handed it to Lawson on the opposite side.

Lawson was a little confused and asked, "What is this?"

"You can open it and take a look, but I would like to remind you as a friendly reminder that if I were you, I would not open it and I would agree to the previous proposal."

Lawson's face became serious, and his intuition told him that the contents of this file might be harmful to him.

But it was impossible for him to directly agree to David's proposal.

Finally, after some ideological struggle, Lawson took the document bag, opened it, took out the documents and started to read them.

As the contents inside came into view, his expression changed from shock, to doubt, to livid.

"Where did you get all this?"

David replied calmly: "There is nothing that our IRS wants to find out!"

Lawson thought about it for a while and argued: "These are funds consumed for official purposes during the campaign. They don't count, right?"

"Funds spent on business?"

David laughed and said: "According to federal law, campaign funds can only be used for campaign purposes. However, when you went to Henderson to canvass for votes, you stayed in a star-rated hotel and drank a bottle of 5,000 US dollars. Of red wine, that doesn’t make sense, does it?”

"In addition, I think you didn't look carefully enough. When you went to Reno on January 19, you spent $3,000 on a call girl. This money was also taken from campaign funds. Pay the bill."

"Under federal law, there is no right to summon a call girl for official duties, right?"

"Since the Black Tax Act came into effect, you have misappropriated a total of more than 70,000 US dollars for your own selfish desires. According to the provisions of the Black Tax Act, this is an obvious profit-making behavior. According to the tax rate, you need to pay more than 18,000 US dollars in tax to our IRS. !”

Lawson once again flipped through the documents at hand. On the last page, his behavior on January 19 was indeed recorded. Now, he couldn't sit still at all.

David was right. There were excuses for staying in star-rated hotels and spending expensive wine. But how could he defend the call girl matter?

I can't tell voters and the public that I was very tired from canvassing and giving speeches in Reno, so I hired a call girl to relax my muscles in the evening, and by the way, I reported campaign fund accounts. Is this a reasonable thing?

"Mr. Lawson, as I said before, I came to you with sincerity. Otherwise, if I really did what Governor Stevenson said, would you still be able to participate in this academic lecture on the stage today?"

"Did the documents in your hand fall into Stevenson's hands?"

"What are you thinking, of course not!"

After hearing this, Lawson felt a little relieved. As long as he didn't fall into Stevenson's hands, everything would be fine.

Then he replied: "Just now you said that we would join forces to fight back against Stevenson. Now I am a little interested. What do you want to do?"

Lawson knew that if he didn't agree, as soon as the documents and information in David's possession were released, he would be ruined immediately.

And agreeing to deal with Stevenson together will cause instability in his current situation, but at least he will not be ruined or go to jail.

He is a shrewd man and will certainly make choices based on the situation.

6,000 words, that’s it for today. . .
